Essentials of Cooking Taught to Those At-Risk
Vision
To be the most effective worldwide organization teaching at-risk people how to prepare healthy, economic meals for themselves, while giving them a skill that provides job opportunities.
Indentity
"The distinguishing character or personality of an individual. ​​Our identity is who you are, the way you think about yourself, the way you are viewed by the world, and the characteristics that define you. One’s ​social identity​ is a person's sense of who they are based on their group membership(s). An individual’s job and skill set can be an important source of self-esteem in such a group.”
Integrity
​“​Firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values; a personal quality of fairness. ​It is the hallmark of a person who demonstrates sound moral and ethical principles at work.
A person who has integrity displays their values in sound relationships with friends, family and co-workers. Honesty and trust are central to integrity.”
